So far you've only been playing with two parties: The Town and Mafia. This game we will introduce Third Parties. These parties are in it for themselves. They are anti-town AND anti-mafia. Third Parties are also the Parties of extreme. Some are Parties by themselves, and can't rely on help from anyone else and hardly ever win unless the game is specifically balanced to support them. Others are very powerful and can exploit whatever situation the game is to leverage a win as they really don't care who, Town or Mafia, has an advantage.

This game also introduces the concept of flavors. Flavors are the adjectives of Mafia, altering how roles work. Here are some common flavors:

These Flavors are usually made known to the player:Even/Odd - Roles with these modifiers can only work on Even or Odd-numbered Night PhasesX-Shot - Roles with these modifiers can only be used X number of times.

These Flavors are usually hidden from the player (their role PM is that of the normal, unflavored variety):Paranoid - For Cops and other investigative roles, they receive all Guitly-type results. For Doctors, they role-block their target.Naive - For Cops and other investigative roles, they receive all Innocent-type results. For Doctors and other non-investigative roles, they do nothing.Insane - For Cops, they receive results opposite of the Truth

The motto of last round was trust no one but yourself. The motto of this round is trust no one, not even yourself. Plenty of roles exist that can hinder the reliability of investigations. What are those? There is only one way to find out.

I think it would be best if we got claims or actual information before we go on a lynch party.

VTL Crypto for claim

Lol. I'm just trying to get this game started, and you can't do that unless you declare a lynch!

...oh wait, I just realized we are getting this game started, because you accused me of a claim.

Well played, well played.

VTL Daytona for being so of the town going for the Mafia.

I am not voting for you because I want your lynch. I am voting for you because I want your claim.

He means he wants you to out your role. This is pretty good way to get the game going for working analyses, deciphering between role claims and such. As of right now, I suggest you do as Daytona requests and just claim your role.

You're goal is to kill the Mafia, I may not be for the town, but my goal is to kill the mafia also.

You are getting absolutely no where by killing me.

@Daytona: I thought that the only thing a 3rd party member had to do was survive, not kill off everyone but themselves?

If his win condition is solely to survive, then we must lynch him this DP:Crypto is technically part of the voting population. If he dies, we won't be constrained by LYLO or MYLO. Both cases forces us to not lynch him since if we do, mafia automatically wins. Lynching him is akin to a mislynch since he is not a mafia. LYLO and MYLO means that he automatically wins. We have to nip the problem at its bud. Sorry.

if we do a lynch this day phase, chances are we'd lynch a nonmafia (just going by sheer probability). During NP1, the mafia will kill one of us.DP2 (most likely scenario):2 mafia vs. 4 nonmafia (one being 3rd party) <--- MYLOIn this case, we are obligated to lynch correctly because, if we don't, mafia wins. Also, in this scenario (MYLO quite common), we cannot lynch you since if we do, it's technically considered a mislynch resulting in DP3 with 2 mafia vs. 2 nonmafia. The win either goes to you or the mafia. I do not like playing with these odds. I therefore retain my vote on you for the following DP2 scenario:2 mafia vs. 4 town. True we go into MYLO, but it's much better than having you with us in MYLO

Basically, we automatically lose the moment a town is lynched this Day Phase (which is extremely likely).
